Golden Gate Depot is proud to announce these Common
Standard Cars in HO. The detail on these cars will be
a level of detail and scale accuracy usually
reserved for brass models costing hundreds more.
This new offerings is centered around the 72’
Interurbans or “Subs”. Widely used in California in
the 1920s and beyond, these cars were the
backbone of the SP for commutes on the Peninsula and
later in other areas of California and Arizona.
Built by the Pullman Company in the 1920s, these
coaches were often referred to as Suburbans, or
"Subs". Later they were lumped into the description
of common standard cars of the early 1900s as
"Harrimans".
The term "Harriman" refers to railroad
equipment built in the 1900's and 1910's to a set of
common standards that were used when E. H. Harriman
controlled both the Southern Pacific and Union
Pacific railroads. But for now we will call them by
their class, 72-IC-1/2, Interurban "Subs". They are 72’ over the sills,
80’ coupler to coupler and will have all the
trappings of a precision made, brass scale model, but
in plastic with the great running characteristics
you expect from GGD.
In Addition to the Subs
we are offering a Club/Lounge, Diner, Coach and
Observation Car. Cars will be detailed per era of
the paint scheme, i.e. air conditioning and window
and vent differences appropriate for the era.
